  1. I doubt for some time you will see text variables. UDI are quite busy working on porting ISY over to the polisy machine and converting the admin console to html/css/javascript.
  2. ooops….affidavit
  3. Also, folder conditions will not evaluate on a ISY reboot, and programs can remain unprocessed for extended times, unknown to the user, until the user manually restarts them again, if they discover it. I don't see any way to force True or False, on startup, making them dangerous to the user. Testing programs inside a disabled folder always fails without any notice, making testing programs more complex, and more likelihood to leave them non-functional once tested.
  4. Folder conditions are not a good technique. The conditions are obscure, and can be forgotten about, making it a bad programming method, and altering the status can leave devices in undesirable positions when the programs stall. Almost every folder condition I have installed has been removed after discovering these problem over the years.
  5. Not that I have seen. Load the file into Notepad++ and do a search or even just select the phrase you want and the other occurrences will be highlighted.
  6. It may be a while yet, but if you can wait, the polisy should come completely paired with it's own polyglot c/w drop-in nodeservers at a few clicks. Many people here should be able to talk you through getting connected to an ecobee WiFi stat at that point.
  7. Might be a good idea for the MAC address to be engraved on the bottom of the polisy. OTOH, with five Ethernet ports (3 wired, 2.4Ghz, 5GHz) it may have five different MAC addresses.
  8. Ecobee with WiFi via cloud interrogation.
  9. They can but most of these scammer rooms only own a few numbers. Besides they get an "Out of service" message with advice to remove it from their list". If they do, it is over for YOUR number. On my Android cell phone it came with an app called "HiYa" that looks the calling number up in a database and gives a warning, location or advice for every call. If you find it is spam or a scam you just hit the appropriate key and they record it in their database. It works quite well, as I have had quite a few rings along with advice "Known Spammer" etc.. It was auto-installed on my last upgrade.
  10. Get all the options.
  11. Trouble with most of these calls is the issue they raise is not what they are calling about. They are looking for a "live" phone number with real people behind it. Then they sell the numbers to other spammers. This is happening a lot on mobile numbers now as they can SMS spam you. I upgraded my Ooma service to a$10 account and I can selective block the pests. We were very impressed when we tested it as you get your choice of actions and their "This number is out of service. Please check...." message is very authentic.
  12. The best sales line, used everywhere is, "everybody else is getting one" or "It's our most popular xxx".
  13. Missing in Android app also now. I know they want to get everything by vocal control but I don't see how to remove superfluous items anymore. Maybe it is self cleansing now?
  14. I think it is at the very bottom of the devices page in the Android app, along with Delete All devices. That needs to be every so often to clear out the change of hearts in naming you had over the years. I mostly use the vocal "Alexa...discover". Then it vocally let's you know what new devices it found.
  15. I have a Netgear AC1900 that I had heat problems with, only in the summer though. Figuring it was bad I bought an ASUS AC1900 RT-AC68U router to replace it. It has heat problems, only in the summer though. I have converted the ASUS to ASUSWRT-Merlin firmware (they only fix bugs) and it didn't help. I mounted them both vertically and in free air, and they have both worked almost flawlessly now, for the last few years. Some device just give up connecting to easily though. The ASUS is a better router and they now have mesh routing built into them if you want to get more than one. I turned down the transmit power on both routers, both frequencies, and that helped. Only problem, at about 3% of their power output, my neighbour could clobber my one router as his signal strength was higher than mine, in my own home. After changing frequencies, with such low signal level, his router changed to the same frequency. I have raised my transmit levels and found channels that no neighbours are using. Hopefully now, when other routers reboot every week they will see my signal and avoid the same channels. I use a free app on my cell phone, and my Killer Control Centre software app, that came with my laptop WiFi, to see every WiFi channel in use. If you are trying to use 5GHz WiFi and have any airplanes near you, your WiFi may be disconnecting constantly. It is part of the 5GHz licence to share the frequency with radar systems. Just before trashing your router I would investigate installing WRT-Merlin third party firmware into it. It may save you some money if it is available for your model.
  16. I have always used the Insteon address to link devices and I only press linking buttons on battery devices. The rest do not require it.
  17. Has nothing to do with "stable". It has to do with Zwave inclusions not being complete enough.
  18. Geeeez. That brings back the memory of trying to extract the temperature from an Insteon thermostat 2441ZTH using a bank of programs. One program per degree to test for each degree from bottom to top. What a PITA. Been using v5 for about four years now and have a hard time remembering the silly things we had to do.
  19. No. It applies to the ISY setup on the last tab. IIRC
  20. Thanks. I think we have agreement on that. My nodes are still in ISY, Polyglot reads the ISY profile and finds the polyglot profiles do not match, and then shows a ghost NS, with no options to delete/start or stop it. However, I copied a saved copy of the Ecobee NS back into the proper folder and rebooted. Back in business but Polyglot v2.2.6 is crashing when trying to connect to ecobee server I think. I attached the log for einsten.42 in Jimbo's thread for ecobee NS.
  21. The one just above the wiggling Hula dancer figurine. Where else would you hang panties on?
  22. Don't let the dice on the rear view mirror get into your view.
  23. Thanks very much! I was just doing that when your post came in.:) It did reset my polyglot and it is running again! Now it doesn't like my Ecobee NS. It shows unmanaged and "uninstall" won't do anything or even delete the file folder. Manually deleting the folder changes nothing after reboot. Seems the polyglot setup file and the files are out of sync. I tried reloading my original backup file but no help there.
  24. Increases the performance. Well,... the perceived performance.
  25. @einstein.42This time I removed polyglot, deleted the polyglot folders, and deleted the user polyglot, also. I couldn't find any access to the group polyglot so I assumed it was gone, along with it. Rebooted and reinstalled polyglot fresh. Install went without errors but after rebooting again to install polyglot, I got another constant loop, but with a different set of reporting lines. The .env file does not exist in this directory. Perhaps these are some better clues how to fix my polisy.
